I am expanding the 14 reasons why Epoch Slide™ is superior to SharePoint for presentation management and as a presentation composer. Epoch Slide™ presentation management system is developed from the ground up specifically for PowerPoint presentation and slide content management. Think of Epoch Slide™ as an elegant PowerPoint CMS that SharePoint does not even close in comparison to the functionality and ease of using in building custom presentations.

Epoch Presentation™ iPad App works lightning fast when searching for choice slides and while composing a custom presentation.

You don’t have to worry about design or slide content because you have access to the latest high impact company approved for you to use to compose your presentation quickly.

SharePoint is more of a repository of slides in a file system that you can download or checkout.

difficult to use

no way to build presentation quickly

The library menu is 2007 style and thus looks different from other SharePoint 2010 libraries.

Has a complicated way of uploading pictures using the “Picture Manager” application.

The SharePoint Slide Library is mostly a default feature available for users. You will have to create a custom application in SharePoint to match the same functionality of EpochSlide™ presentation management system. Furthermore, the technical challenge is greater as compared to other platforms such as. Net, HTML 5, iOS and others.
